Hello, Bachelor Nation, this is Bachelor Happy Hour. We are so excited to be here.

I am Joe and I am Serena, and.

We are here.

We are the new host of Bachelor Happy Hour, and we are so beyond excited to be here today, recording separately but together as the co host, which is crazy now both husband and wife and podcast co host. We can add it to the list.

Yeah, I'm excited. We have we have big shoes to fill, but I'm ready. I'm ready to go. Ready to get new season, new season, new podcast. Let's start fresh. Serena, you excited or finally hosting a podcast together?

I'm so excited, especially I know I'm tired, but I'm excited.

I know it's early, but well, we'll get we'll get into that. We'll get into that. But yeah, I never thought we would host one together, but.

Really, why not?

I feel like you have had a podcast for what three years with Clickbait and then yeah, I've popped in the podcast scene.

Yeah, and I think I thought we had a good flow when we did it together. I just I don't know. I felt like we went for so long without having a podcast together, that us having one together so long.

A good two years, our very lengthy relationship.

That's fair, that's fair. Are you worried about working with me?

No, I don't think I'm worried. I feel like all of your good sides and diva sides I already know, so there's not going to be a lot of like surprises. I feel like we also work really well together, like in a day to day life, and we've also podcast together and work together in like a professional setting. So I don't think there's like what would worry me would be like the unknown of like, oh my gosh, how is this going to go? Like is are we going to be able to podcast together? Are we going to have a long But we've already kind of tackled that, so I don't really I don't really have any worries.

I'm excited.

I'm did you did you say VA sides? He just said, yeah, Diva sides? I did say that, Yes, unbelievable. You didn't like that? You didn't like that one?

I didn't. I didn't after just I can't. I just got back from my bachelor party. For people listening like two hours ago, it was uh so for people that don't know Serena and I are getting married in September. Yay, well we're technically married now. Well, we both planned our bachelor parties in mine was first, and I just went to Vegas for five days with some of my really close friends and I got my flight left at nine am Monday, and we got stuck in the air for two hours above Newark and they would not land us. So then they decided to land the plane in Baltimore and then keep us stuck on the plane for three hours, let us off the plane, but not let us leave and keep all our bags. Gave us an update every thirty minutes to re update us.

That was the craziest part was every time you contacted me, you were like, okay, they just updated us.

I was like, okay, great, Like what's the update?

You like know the update is, We're going to get an update in thirty minutes.

Craziest, craziest thing in the world. I was like, what is happening? I have not eaten, have not slept, And then fine, at about eleven thirty, they said, we're taking all your luggage off. We are gonna put you all on a bus to New York City.

Which I've never heard of in my entire life. My mom had. When I was talking to my mom last night and she's like, oh, this happened to me one time, but I've never heard of them beaning like, we know you booked a flight, but we got you a bus instead. Load on up and here we go.

And then there was there was one hundred and fifty of us standing there, and I'm like, how many buses are they even gonna be able to get? We stand outside, They're like, oh, buses, buses are filled.

What yeah, there wasn't any more room on the bus.

We don't know, buses weren't ready. So then me and four random guys split a like a Yukon guy. A driver was there. He's like, between all five of you, eight hundred and fifty bucks to drive you to New York. And we're like, let's just do it.

I had a this fifty split five ways, split five ways.

I was like, but we were packed in. I was sitting in the middle. It was they were all nice guys, but it was it was crazy. And I finally got home at four am. Here we are waking everyone up, who's working on this podcast. I feel terrible, but.

Yeah, and it's seven am Eastern Standard time. Four am Pacific Center time. So we definitely drew the long straw in the situation because it's not too bad.

But you must be so tired. Did you get to sleep at all in the car?

No, I haven't slept. I haven't slept, but I'm excited.

Did you even try to sleep?

Or now?

I knotted off a little bit, but I really couldn't.

Do you think the people that were waiting for the bus are still sitting in Baltimore?

Yeah, they are, because I just I just got an update right now that the plane's leaving, which means they didn't get on the buses, so they might they're boarding in like two.

Oh my god, Joe, imagine you were like you waited for the bus and you guys didn't get in that car. They probably shoveled them all back to the gate and just said, never mind, here's the plane in a few hours. But guess what brutal that's actually? Is that your worst travel experience ever?

This was the worst. This was worse than when we got stuck in Calgary. In Calgary, you'll be you will be in this position in two weeks because it's your first time going to Vegas ever, which is crazy.

Yeah, yeah, but hopefully I'm not in that position. I don't want to experience that at all.

Just make sure that you stay hydrated, because that was a key for me. I did an IV treatment Sunday. Thank god I did that because it kept me hydrated so I wasn't like super hungover.

Yeah.

Yeah, just to clarify, I'm going to I'm going to Vegas as well for my Bocht party in two weeks, and it'll be my first time in Vegas. But Joe is a Vegas expert native basically a local if you will, and he goes on the ride. He's nearly twice a year, so this was not his first time in Vegas whatsoever. But fill the people in on your bochelor party. You had a long, a long five days in Vegas. It looked like a lot of fun. If I didn't post that much.

About it, yeah, I didn't really post that much. We gambled a lot.

A lot, a lot, as pretty usual.

Yeah, I like, like, oh I wish I had some crazy stories. But yeah, we gambled, we went to we went out every night. But what we did this time, oh, this and this is going to be super interesting for everyone listening. We went to dinner at five thirty pm in Vegas, which is crazy, but actually it actually worked out well because then we had the whole night. The only one from VETL Nation that was there was Clay.

But wait, wait, wait, wait you really this is a crazy story. We went to dinner at five thirty Vegas? Was that the story?

Yeah? I'm also I'm also still delusional. I swear I'm delusional. It's it's crazy and I have to leave after this. Oh no, all right.

But yeah, Clay was the only one from Bacher Nation there. He was actually the one I was getting all my Instagram content of your bachelor party from. He was popping off. It was great.

Yeah, Clay's a big he'll post a lot of stories. I also so I also met remember remember in our season of Paradise Chasin m.

Guy.

Yeah yeah, yeah he was there and Spencer, so Spencer from that season as well. Season Yeah. So at access Encore Beach Club Sunday, we'll hung out with those guys for a little bit. They're cool, nice guys.

That's nice. That's fun.

So overall, overall, overall is a great time travel experience. Negative five A negative five.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Is anybody from that nation going to yours?

That nation?

You say that? Please?

No, no one from the nation is coming to my bachelor att party. I'm just doing small groups. So I've got like three of my best friends from high school, three of my best friends from university, and then my sister, so a little more intimate than you're fifteen to twenty person five day ranger. We're just going for three days, but we're still going to do all the things, and then all of our bachelor friends will be hopefully at the wedding, so that's where we'll celebrate with them.

I am up money on this trip, which never happens. I left Vegas. I did, I did really well, So that's great.

That's what I like to end up.

Going back to Vegas when you're out there for years. I'll stay away from you.

No what, You're not coming to Vegas on my bachelor at trip.

But we were talking about potentially going again, so they were together.

We were talking.

Oh, you were talking with your friends about going again in what two weeks?

Yeah, but I won't be near you.

Stay home. You don't need to go back.

I killed. I can't stay home, you can't.

I need no you need to catch up on sleep after the last night, and that's going to take you some time for sure.

Also, I'm at, yeah, we're at like a pool party and I look and I see you post it our two year engagement. I'm like, wow, it's a two year engagement.

Yeah, I know. I called you, and my mom actually reminded me Joe and I are really not great with the anniversaries. But my mom was like, oh, it's your it's your two year engagement anniversary day.

I was like, oh, yeah, it is, So that was that was sweet.

I mean we were together so obviously didn't really celebrate, but yeah, fun memory.

It is a fun memory. That was nice. I was like, oh, this is nice. That's that's crazy. Can you believe it's been two years?

Two years? No, I actually cannot believe it. I feel like, and I think we've talked about this before, but I was saying it to my mom yesterday. I feel like it feels like it's been longer than two years. A because probably like we're married and like we've had like a speedy relationship, but B I feel like it's because Paradise, like is a short period of time in our relationship in terms of like days, but it feels like such a long period of time in our relationship because so much happens, and like you progressed so much, like we were engaged at the end of it, So it feels like it was like a few months of our relationship in terms of like like how close we got and like how much we learned about each other. Do you know what I mean?

This is my theory. You stole my theory. I've told you this, Yeah, I said.

We talked about this, But I feel like I'm expanding on what you hire said you are.

Yeah. No, it feels like forever, but in a good but it.

Feel like forever.

It's been waving together for a long as time feels so long.

But it feels like so long, but in a good way.

That's because the twenty days of filming and Paradise feels like oh yeah, yeah, it really does.

So I always tell people like that, like, oh, it's crazy. You got engaged there for nineteen days and it is so crazy, But it feels it doesn't feel like nineteen days.

Yeah, even like looking back on it now, you know, like I don't look back and go like, oh my god, like that was so I mean it was, like I it was a short amount of time, but like I feel like I don't look back and go like, oh, I barely knew you then, do you know what I mean? Like or I don't. I feel like this progression that we made in Paradise felt really so magnificant at the time, and looking back like it still feels significant. I don't look back and think like, oh gosh, like we barely knew each other. That's so crazy. I mean, it is crazy, but we really did know each other. It did feel like we had, like, really progressed in a relationship. And I feel like I've said that three times now because I'm sick deprived.

Yeah no, but I completely agree, I really do. I am. And I was also thinking when I was in doing a lot of thinking when I was in Vegas.

Where are you now?

I'm igno thinking about what well, because I'm excited about this first episode and just like us breaking down the episode, because you and I when we do watch the show, we'll talk about our feelings and what's going on on the show right then and there. And we both watched it separately and haven't talked about it at all.

Yes, yeah, which we did intentionally because usually if we do watch it separately, I would like call you after be like what did you think about all of this stuff? But because we knew we were podcasting today and we weren't going to be together to watch it, we were like, okay, we'll watch it separately, and we won't. So I have I haven't heard one thought from you about the screener, which will be fun and we'll see how we'll see how it goes. I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

And next week too, Next week you're going to be You're going to be in Cabo, so we're not going to be recording together again.

Yeah, that's that's a whole other scheduling situation that we got to figure out. But I have no intention of getting stuck on my way home.

But we also have we have your cousin's wedding in Toronto.

Yeah, it's going to be a really really busy few weeks and we've been traveling like NonStop and there's not really an end insight right now. But I think I'm I think I'm in New York for like two days out of the entire like month.

All my years of living this year will be the most traveled of my life.

Really, you think more than last year.

Oh yeah, yeah, we've already we've it's we've been going on stop now for like.

Like six weeks.

Yeah yeah, and it's going to go to the end our wedding, our honeymoon, which, by the way, I just made a dinner reservation in digit.

Yeah, We've been traveling a lot, and like a lot of the upcoming travel is surrounding like our wedding and our honeymoon and bachelor bachel at parties, which is obviously so exciting. And I will give Joe full credit here, like he booked our entire honeymoon, and like that's kind of the structure of our relationship. Like I feel like you are the travel agent and the relationship and I love that you are, and you do all the research and like you're making all the dinner reservations and it just makes me so freaking happy that I don't have to do that.

Adam, because you are a very good You're really good at it.

I know it's one of my talents. Adam and dam and Raven were just there and Adam gave me the restaurant wrecks. If you guys don't know Adam and Raven. You probably do. They're a bachelor and Paradise couple. They just had a kid.

Gave another one on the way.

That was her beatie moon.

I think why they were in Italy.

Right, that's right, that's awesome, very romantic. Oh that's what I meant to tell you. Did you watch the Mabeling commercial? Right?

Okay, So we couldn't get it in Canada or at least where we were. The network didn't have it, but your mom and your aunt recorded it and sent it to me. Your aunt sent a video of your grandma and her watching it together. It was really sweet, but I thought it was cool. Honestly. It was such a long recording day, Like there's so many clips and stuff that I don't want to say, like didn't make the cut, but like it was like we had so much footage, so it was really cool to like see it all come to life and see like what they ended up picking. And also I didn't see your target stuff at all where you filmed, like the Inn store stuff, so that was so cool for me to see.

Yeah, did you like it? Did you see it?

Didn't I send you the video?

Yeah?

I liked it. It was so I never like watching myself back, but it was it was fun. I liked it, and we'll see it when it when it airs.

I mean for me, like, I'm a makeup girl, so like getting to do the mablein commercial second year in a row is just like the coolest thing ever. Like I love it. I hope they ask this a third year, putting that to the universe.

Right now, I'm a makeup guy. I love Maplen.

Maybe yeah yeah, maybe it's Maplene the perfect fit for you.

Maybe he's born with it.

But okay, before we get into the episode, what what are you feeling for this season? And you're feeling good things like give me your overall vibe, your predictions going into this season. You're like overging thoughts on Charity before we like really dive in.

Yeah, okay, before I would say, I just I guess my number My number one thought was that she she really seems to have her life and herself like together. Yeah, and like, oh yeah, when she was on Zach season, I looked at her of like, you know, this is a woman who knows what she wants, and I feel like that's a great quality for a lead, and usually that type of person will end up happily engaged at the end. And yeah, this was just her premiere so but you know.

What's funny is I do feel like like I was excited for her to be the volstrat one hundred percent because I agree with you, she's definitely seems like someone who has her life together in terms of like all aspects, and I I think she's absolutely stunning. But I don't feel like we saw her personality very much on Zach's season, like actually at all, if I'm being totally honest. So I was like, hmm, I wonder how she's gonna be. Like, I just don't feel very connected to her in the sense like I don't feel like I know who she is as like a person in terms of her personality, Like I know her like checklist, her resume, and she seems great obviously, but like, who is this girl like as a person. And I feel like they showed off her personality so much in the premiere episode, and it made me way more excited to watch her because she does have this very like warm, bubbly, like fun personality.

Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I would say, just like even the first five minutes of the premiere. I know way more about Charity now than I did the entire season.

One hundred percent.

Like they definitely showed us the like on Zach season, it was definitely like, oh, yeah, she's a but like I was like, does like honestly, does she have a personality?

Like I wasn't like, oh, she's boring.

I was just like, I don't know if she has a personality or not because it's not getting shown.

Or if like this is just her personality.

But like, yeah, within five minutes, I was like, Oh my god, she's so fun and cute, and like, yeah, I'm excited. I'm way more excited to watch her season. I feel like other people I can imagine feel the same way after seeing the first episode.

Well even on Twitter, like everything is like people are very excited for her and excited to watch her, and it seems like all positive, which usually usually there's there's some pushback, and it seems like, who knows, Maybe she'll be the most adored, loved based her out.

Of all time.

Maybe maybe we'll have to we'll have to watch and find out.

Yeah, that was actually my favorite, one of my one of my favorite parts of the premiere episode was the Caitlyn style cameo. Cameo when she.

Came Oh my god, when she came in with her wine and she's like, from what she called herself, a washed up bachelorette.

Yeah, yeah, it's your favorite wash bachelorette. It was just so seamless. So it was like that, that's so funny.

Yeah, she's They had quite a few little cameos from a bunch of different past boucherettes.

Yeah, good things.

All right.

You want to place the you want to place the wager?

Oh sure, I'm not.

Really a gambler, as I like got nervous immediately, like I started studying at the mint. I hear the word wager, I'm like stuttering.

I'm still yeah, I'm still in gambling mode. Do you do you think she ends up happily engaged, No headaches, just smooth, smooth engagement.

What do you define as a headache, like like with Zach and like where it was like a rocky road kind of thing.

Yeah, near the end, yeah, like like at the end, like a huge like like a kind of I wouldn't say as much a Zach situation, more of a Clayton situation.

Okay, Okay, that's a better example. That's a better example. I think No, I think they'll probably be a couple like major heartbreaks, because she seems like she's someone that falls fast and hard, Like I feel like the guys that she has a connection with, she's already like, whoa, I'm really into these guys. So I think she's gonna she's gonna have some major heartbreaks, but I'm feeling optimistic that it's gonna be like a clean proposal at the end, and I would love to hear that she's still in love and happy. But honestly, I think this is the least amount I've ever known going into a season. Like usually I feel like I hear spoilers here and there, Like I know nothing going into this season.

Yeah, yeah, very true, Yeah, very true. I even felt I even feel like for Rachel and Gabby season, I felt like there was a lot of spoilers for that season, which I'm not a fan of spoilers. So I'm excited that we know literally nothing going into Charity season makes it so much more exciting. It makes it more exciting to talk about it and podcast about it.

Yeah, one hundred percent.

I feel like it lets me watch it with like fresh eyes, you know what I mean. And I'm like picking out like who I think is gonna go far, who I think's gonna end up with all the things?

Yeah for sure. And then this will be Bachelor Happy Hour for the season. Will be the only place where current cast members will be talking and coming on in podcastings. So exclusive right here, Bachelor Happy Hour, we get all the exclusives, so make sure you check us out right.

Sorry now, Yeah, and we're going to be having new episodes come out every single week. We're so excited to get to follow along on Charity's journey as well as just get to know these guys. I'm excited to chat with them every single week and hear about their experience and watch their journeys unfold.
